Hmm wouldn't really say 'depressed' but if ISIS captured me, I'd prefer to be beheaded on the internet.

Another embarrassing performance tonight. Even our happy flappy Twitter account said it 'wasn't our best game' and when they are saying something like that, then it must have been really shit. And we were playing a side managed by Graham Westley not to forget.

I'm in a state where I'd like to throw burning Chicken McNuggets at Flitcroft


If it's any consolation we're not in the play offs on goal difference because you, so Shez will more than likely keep his job for an additional week.

Wycombe's PA playing "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"! Ahaha! Good thing they've got a sense of humour.

Your lot cost me $189


Jesus wept Kevo, NEVER bet on a game with Argyle, we always fuck you over.

To be fair, this is typical us, get humiliated by bottom of the league, scrape past a shit team playing absolute shite, then dominate second in the league at their place.

Plus $$$ aren't real money anyway.

I don't fucking understand us.

Also; Wycombe are at home AND second in the league and yet they only have about 2,500-odd home fans tonight. We've taken 522 away on a Tuesday (granted some/most won't be living down this way) but that's a pathetic home attendance all things considered.

Maybe Mike Ashley is secretly Dave from Newcastle, and his love for all things Ameobi has manifested itself in Sammy?

Can't really say I'm looking forward to this game. Or any other game in the near future. Sad


Right there with you on that one! A person on an Argyle forum was arguing with another man, who was saying we should be higher because our team is better than this, probably good enough for automatic, and the man countered asking whether he though teams like Bury were where they are by luck?

I thought of you in that moment, and how depressed you'd be answering that question.

Bought a new laptop a month ago and already having problems with it. I can't get a desktop! I turn it on and it loads up fine until it gets to the bit where you'd have your icons and start menu etc... where it's just a black screen with a mouse on it. I can get the task manager up and any programs or windows I can jammy my way on to from there but for the life of me I don't know what's happened! I shut it down normally and when I next went to turn it on, this has happened!

I bet you this will change on the 28th. If it does, you personally owe me a pint


If we come back to beat you, I will buy you a pint, guaranteed.

It's an almost nailed on 0-0 with no chances created by anyone.

Just watch: Flitcroft will make sure we play Etuhu and Soares so that there is no midfield. The amount of chances you'll create due to us being non-existent in the middle of the park will even lead to Lewis Alessandra scoring against us. Faaaaaaaaaaaantastic


As long as you score first you're sorted. The last time we came back to win under Sheridan was in 2013 against Barnet.

A walk in the park for your lot on the 28th. Excited for the easiest three points all season yet?


You underestimate Sheridan's ability to be utterly confounding.

We've shipped Marvin Morgan off to Hartlepool, rumours are that Reuben Reid's been spotted on his way to Portsmouth, whereas Akos Buzsacky has allegedly been spotted in Plymouth city centre. I would wank myself dry if he signed.

Awful appointment, might as well have stuck with Pearce!


We've been took over again, this time for real, by Dejphon Chansiri whos big in the world of tuna. Hopefully we'll be signing a few players today!


You've signed a Romanian striker already I think, right? Paid actual money for him and on a three and a half year deal I've heard?

Yeah but you're a walking disaster Kevo. Falling apart more than a fucking Jenga tower mate!

Edit: On another note: we're absolute dogshit and Sheridan needs to pack his bags.

I've got a new laptop (punched the old one to death)! Now I just need to transfer all my crap over from a laptop with no screen (and no monitor yet) and then wait for FM to go on sale.
#235603 Ched Evans

Vercoe my point in using The Luke McCormick case was just to highlight that Luke McCormick has returned to football and that as you say there was a media outcry but nothing on this scale over his case.

When it comes to facts about both cases the main problem here as to be Luke McCormick returned to football were it looks very much like Ched Evans will not at least until he has severed his sentence if at all.

Also you may be able to correct me but I do not think any sponsor's of both Oxford or Plymouth pull out of the club due to Luke signing.

So do the sponsor's see rape as a worse crime than killing the brother's.

Both should be allowed to continue there career's once they have served there time.


You're right, there wasn't this much media or public outcry over Luke's return to football but, for my money, it's because he kept his head down and tries to avoid the media spotlight where he can whereas Evans obviously doesn't (but then, if he believes he's innocent then why should he? He'd just better hope he wins his appeal). Maybe saying Evans isn't trying to avoid media spotlight is the wrong phrasing but because of his appeal I suppose he's automatically getting more exposure.

Where Oxford is concerned, I couldn't tell you whether or not any sponsors had adverse reactions, although he was only ever brought in as a short term replacement as their two main 'keepers were injured (FWIW he had signed on to play for local non-league side Truro in Cornwall before Oxford approached him), so maybe that worked in his favour? As far as I know Argyle never had any threats of sponsors pulling out when Luke returned either.

I wouldn't say that the sponsors place rape higher than the death of two young boys, I would play devil's advocate and say that perhaps the fact that, if guilty, there's an admission of intent on Evans' part wherein he intended to have sex with the girl in the state she was in whereas Luke never intended to crash into anyone (not that it matters now) so maybe that will play on the sponsors' minds?

I would also point out that Lee Hughes returned to football with arguably less uproar (I think, my memory isn't great) after he killed somebody with intent to harm (I believe).

It's an extremely tricky situation that there can't really be one rule set in stone for in my mind.
#235316 Ched Evans

For me it is not about if Ched Evans did or did not rape the girl as in court he was found guilty and has served 2 and half years.

My problem is the media hype as in 2008 Luke McCormick the then Plymouth goalkeeper causing death by dangerous driving and driving with excess alcohol killed two brothers and served 4 years.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7654430.stm

In 2012 on his release he signed for Truro then by 2013 Oxford Utd and is now back at Plymouth.

I myself can not remember any public outcry for Luke McCormick to not be allowed to return to football and his case was clear cut unlike Ched Evans who has always protested his innocents.

Now I am not against Luke McCormick returning to football as he served the time he was told to do but 4 years for killing to brother where Ched Evans got 2 and half years for rape.

Are we now at a point that rape should carry a harder sentence and more of a media backlash than murder even if it was by accident or stupidity.


Just to come back to this, although I don't really want to because, as you can imagine I've seen this discussion done to death on multiple occasions, but there was a lot of media outcry when Luke a) started playing professionally again and then b) when he re-signed with us, mostly from the Sun it has to be said.

Edit: I'd also like to add that neither of the children were wearing seatbelts at the time, not that it matters now of course. nor should it resolve Luke of any blame whatsoever, but if they were wearing seatbelts, like their father, they would (more than likely) have lived, like their father.

I saw a funny tweet earlier that said something like "I think footballers are role models. I always thought that killing someone was wrong. But then Lee Hughes did it and he scores goals. So now I think it's okay", laced extremely heavily with sarcasm and just made me laugh.

Fletcher and Savage absolutely wanking themselves raw over Pardew and Palace as if they were the fucking underdogs throughout that match.

What a shite commentary team, sums up BT's football personnel really, except Jake Humphrey, please leave Jake before it's too late!

Couldn't fucking beat a team that hasn't won (at home, maybe?) for 7-8 games, who have 10 men for 70 minutes! Useless fucking tactics, no plan B, useless subs, uninspired and pathetic.

Our away form is going to keep us in this league, unfortunately.
